Taken from atop the DoubleTree by Hilton near the Central Station, Amsterdam, this one came out really nice. I actually have a 60 by 40 aluminized print of this one hanging in my living room.
Scenic Schonach, Black Forest, Germany
The weather in general was not very bright, but the morning sun was shining very well on the little village of Schonach, Germany. This beautiful, quite little village in the Black Forest was our home for a few days earlier this year.

Basilica of Saint Nicolas, Amsterdam
The Basilica of Saint Nicholas (Dutch: Sint-Nicolaasbasiliek) is located in the Old Centre district of Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is the city’s major Catholic church.
Officially the church was called St. Nicholas inside the Walls, i.e. the oldest part of the Amsterdam defence works. The basilica has a collection of religious murals.
In the 125th year of its existence, St Nicholas’ Church elevated to “basilica minor” or basilica. That happened on 8 December 2012.

A walk in Amsterdam with FujiFilm X-100
Last week I went out with a good friend of mine for dinner in the city. At the end of that lovely dinner, we decided to digest the food by walking back to Amsterdam Centraal train station instead of taking the tram. On the way back I took out my trusted Fujifilm X-100 and shot a few photos of the city. My friend pointed out some great buildings and other places I could shot that day.
Here are some photos of the same

Strobist: Amazing control over specular highlights
In a recent post on his blog, Strobist David Hobby explains in his usually detailed and precise way on how he got a great portrait of a dark skinned person using specular highlights.
The amazing details he gives reiterate the fact that for a light colored Caucasian skin needs diffused highlights while a darker skin needs more specular highlights.
His post here explains how he got the perfect balance of exposure on this lady with a dark skin, who was wearing a white shirt and was exposed against a white background.
De Uitkijk, Amsterdam
This is De Outkijk, a movie theater in the centre of Amsterdam.
This HDR was created today, but the original shots were made on a cold, dark night around Christmas of 2008.
